The problem we usually find

“We can buy installs, but we do not know whether those users ever complete the actions the app needs.”

Install volume can disguise weak activation. Campaigns need a defined user event, reliable attribution and creative that sets the right expectation before someone downloads the app.

What we measure

We assess cost per qualified install, activation events and retention signals alongside the campaign’s stated commercial goal.

What’s included

How the work actually runs.

01

Funnel definition

We define the event that actually indicates value — a completed action, not an install. Optimising to installs buys you installs, which is not the same as users.

02

Attribution review

Attribution set up and sanity-checked before spend, because mobile attribution is easy to misread and expensive to misread for long.

03

Creative testing

Variants tested against activation rather than install cost. The cheapest install often produces the worst retained user, and an average hides it.

04

Campaign setup

Structured so networks and geographies can be judged separately, and the underperforming ones cut without disturbing the rest.

05

Activation analysis

Cost per activated user and early retention by source, reported together. That pairing is the only honest read on whether the spend is working.

Before you ask

Questions about App Install Campaigns.

The right scope depends on the commercial problem, current setup and evidence available. Start with that, not a generic package.


Because installs are easy to buy and frequently worthless. Networks will deliver cheap installs from users who open the app once. Optimising to an activation event costs more per install and usually costs less per retained user, which is the number tied to revenue.
